Screen Australia is Australia’s major screen funding agency.
We develop and finance high-quality, innovative and commercially attractive projects, designed with audiences in mind..

Australia at MIPCOM
Australian screen content has entertained, intrigued, challenged
and delighted audiences around the world for decades. Our industry
comprises many skilled professionals, who have substantial
international production experience and an in-depth understanding of
the marketplace.
Australian companies work across all genres including children’s,
drama, animation, documentary, features and digital media. They know
how to raise finance and how to deliver quality programs designed for
international audiences. Australians love to tell good stories: stories
that travel with you.
Profiled here are Australian screen content creators as well as
distributors, sales agents, buyers and other specialist providers.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the Australian
companies doing business at MIPCOM 2015.

Screen Australia
We are the Australian Government’s major
screen funding agency.

Official co-productions can
access the Producer Offset

We develop and finance high-quality, innovative
and commercially attractive projects designed with
audiences in mind. We conduct research, assist the
development of local screen culture, and market
Australian talent and screen content domestically
and internationally.

Film and television made under Australia’s official
co-production arrangements are automatically
regarded as Australian, and therefore eligible
for the Producer Offset – providing they meet
other criteria too.

Screen Australia also administers the Producer
Offset incentive and Australia’s official
Co-production Program.

What is the Producer Offset?
The Producer Offset is a rebate on the production
expenditure incurred in Australia when making
Australian film and television. Not all expenditure
qualifies, but the Offset can be worth up to 20 per
cent of Australian spend in the case of television,
and up to 40 per cent in the case of film including
feature documentary.
2

Australia has co-production arrangements with Canada,
China, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea,
New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and the UK.

Location and PDV Offsets
Non-Australian productions taking advantage of
Australia as a filmmaking centre can access the
Location Offset for foreign productions filmed in
Australia, or the Post, Digital and Visual Effects
(PDV) Offset for productions that use Australia’s
post-production and visual effects talents, irrespective
of where filming occurred.
For further details on the Location and PDV Offset visit
www.ausfilm.com.au
